exchange "best" for "most expensive" and i'd agree with you Bill!!
but just think of that max power feature,it will all be worth it
you must be getting excited now paul?it's been great watching it over the years.
First the GOOD news:
engine now turns the back wheels, got some cold start & idle mapping done, so it sorta starts on the button now (bit lumpy, but its a start)
And now the BAD news:
the MSA have banned it!!!! DOH!!!!
oh well, at least i can chuck all the ballast out, and throw on the biggest turbo i can fit - new target +650 bhp............

WOW! Why haven't I noticed this thread until now!?
Looks amazing. ALOT of money being spent, but obviously being earnt judging by the places you have been working!
Car looks amazing, really does. Can't wait to see it running and see what she can do! I love reading threads like this, just by a quick read over there I feel I have learned so much!

Banned it why?
I guess now it's just going to be for fun & generally seeing if you can do whole laps of a circuit leaving 11's all the way round?
In a nutshell, what the MSA told us / published in Bluebook
K37 rules from 01 Jan 2009, including outer pannels in original material
(i.e. steel) and max transmission tunnel mods to FIA appendix drawing.
Cat3 cars (i.e. heavily modified production cars like mine) allowed if they
meet current tech / safety regs at the MSA's discretion.
That should not have been a problem, as only introduced next year.
What they didnt tell anyone / publish was that their "discretion" from 2007, was that they were effectively applying K37 rules to Cat3 cars from that point on.
As my car doesnt meet the wing material and tunnel mod limits, i'm out..........

Rules for fools then
If only 205's were actually interesting to watch
I think that Pauls car stands in the same grey area as does mine.At the moment the way it reads that no parts can be changed excessively like the above but can be inspected and passed by the MSA to get it logged booked.
I know that Andy Burton has given up on his latest project because of K37 and I really hope that the 2010 rule is cleared up quickly, because ive spent too much time and money doing my car over the last few years to be told that al it can be used for is hillclimbs or sprints
thought so

i think you will have a seriously quick RWD ibiza road car then
any idea if david kynaston is being banned also then ? given the engine is under the dash.....

and if yours isn't allowed, then Andy Burtons's cossie 306 surely is banned ?
